We turnin Christmas ham into sooouuup
Haven't done an old school ham and bean soup with the bone and everything in a while, and there's a lot of meat left on this ham, so it's time to bring down the industrial sized stock pot and make enough soup to feed an army

“A Christmas Story”, a 1983 movie based on a 1971 memoir about a childhood in the 1930s: “This is my brother Ralphie. He has a ton of sensory issues and behaviors we don’t understand. Every family has a child like him.”

Gather round children and I shall tell you the legend of Marie Kondo
There should be a reverse Christmas where a magical man comes to your house and takes away a bunch of junk. But the government won't allow this because it doesn't help the economy

A lot of people throw around the term narcissist very freely these days, but the vast majority of you have never dealt with an honest to god narcissist and I pray you never have to. My mother-in-law is diagnosed NPD and I gotta tell you the real ones are next level. I hope you never understand.

Real coffee drinkers know Starbucks is kinda bad! Very easy to avoid. And if you just want super sweetened flavored mix drinks, you can kinda go anywhere these days. Feels like there's a 7 Brew on every corner now.
It's actually really easy to avoid buying Starbucks, it mighta been harder way back in the day when Starbucks made good coffee.

The topic has been beaten to death, but I'll repeat it because I truly believe it: it's sad that Final Fantasy seems so disconnected from its roots as a menu-driven RPG. There hasn't been a brand new (non-phone-gacha) entry in that mold since World of Final Fantasy nearly a decade ago.
